Hitachi DV-PF73U DVD/VCR Combo.Does not respond to remote control

Hitachi DV-PF73U DVD/VCR Combo. Does not respond to remote control. Remote appears to be operational because it can control TV Power/Volume/Channel. Tried universal remote but it had limited device codes and none worked. Everything else works okay on the unit but can't do much without remote contol functions.

Check the remote control for its infrared emission. Check it with fresh batteries. Check it by pressing all the keys. You can detect the presence of infra-red emission from the remote control, using a cell-phone camera. If you wish to get more details about how to check a remote control, please visit this site. One among the posts has details about it. In some cases, the remote control might need to clean.

It sounds like the sensor to tell the microcontroller that the tape is moving is not working. If that is so, the VCR would probably do the same thing in FF or Rewind. If you end up taking this unit into a repair shop, have them check the DVD's software version (it should be 1.250) If below that number, have them upgrade that as well. You can check the version yourself by pressing 1,2,3,4 and then "display" on the remote while the unit is on and no disc in DVD. After noting the version, just hit "power" on the remote to exit this mode.

SOURCE: lost remote control for hitachi c2126s,

Unfortunately, that's often the case with universal remotes. Sometimes you can get a universal remote to work by trying all the possible codes listed for a brand. Occasionally different codes will work and control different functions. Or you can try another brand of universal replacement.

The only true solution is to purchase a replacement original remote. There are many vendors online selling OEM remotes, but often the prices are ridiculous.

Sad to say, if you can't switch to the A/V inputs from the front panel or from a universal remote, you won't be able to use them. While it's not the best workaround, you can get an RF converter for around $20 (or less) most places, and then you'd be able to use an A/V source on channel 3 or 4.

Please don't type is all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read. Thanks.

No one buys Universal Remotes, you buy a remote made for the device, a copy of the original.

To program the VCR / DVD combo codes for the URC-3021 follow these steps:

  1. Turn on your TV.
  2. On the remote, press the TV key once.
  3. Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice, then release SET.
  4. Enter the first four-digit code from the previous list.The LED will blink twice. If it does not blink twice, go back to step 2 and try the same code again.
  5. Aim the remote at the TV and press POWER. The device should turn off. If it does not turn off, repeat steps 2 through 5 with the next code in the list.
Repeat these steps using the same code for the VCR or DVD button.

If that doesn't work, use the auto-search function.

I hope that helps.

Havin a problem with the remote

First, cross your fingers that your system is plugged in. Second, pray that there is no obstruction e.g. lamp, bottle, rubbing lotion, sleeping cat, nagging wife, big headed kid, jumping dog, etc.when you press the remote. Third, if nothing works and if the TV turns on when you press power button then rub one out because you've tried all you could, sleep well and tomorrow go buy a cheap universal remote control either used or new, program it and enjoy. This is assuming you've had the system for a while, if just bought then bring only remote back to store for exchange. Or return your bad TV and just pick up a book instead from now on, TV is for losers who don't want to use their brains to think and want the TV to think for them like me.
